thanks meng, just need a chain and D clips... got a good belt. oh yeah, +1 for j00.
how do you plan to attach it? you can get the chain and stuff from Lowe's, but you have to have a mounting method. i guess you could just drill holes, and use screws and nuts, but i'd worry about the leather ripping in the long run. might be worth it to buy one pre made, especially for only $25. let me know how you make out.
on another note, i did deadlifts after you fags were recommending them the other day. now i remember why i don't like them. i only did 65 lbs and was a hurtin SOB afterwards! i only got 2 x 10 too! i'm gonna keep at them though. luckily the deadlift rack is way in the back corner so not many people notice me barely doing more than the bar!
haha yeah keep on the deadlifts. the belt i have has a metal clip built into it.
just buy some bulk chain from Lowe's and they have clips that are like the clip on a dog leash, only it's one on each end. so clip one to your belt and the other end to the chain. shouldn't be more than $10 tops.
yeap im goin there this weekend. its just finding people there to cut bulk items is a bitch, ya know?
yeah, i know. most of them have that super annoying red button that has the message over the PA, "special assistance needed in the bulk chain area.......special assistance needed in the bulk chain area" i just keep pushing that untill they show up!
Here's my bodymass: 5'7", 205, with a 13:30 2 mile runtime - the Army loves me and tries to say I have to lose 30 pounds to be at the "optimal screening weight". They can eat me.
Got a couple questions for you. My workout partner and I are having to quit doing a couple exercises due to injuries. Unfortunately we had to stop doing preachers and decline bar. Our preacher workout was this:
95 x 10
100 x 10
105 x 10
110 x 10 (or 115 depending on the day)
The problem on the preachers was that our (both of us) ligaments in our forearms were screaming bloody murder! Couldn't even rest my arms on the edge of a table. We were using the regular sissy bar on the inner grip. Have anything like this happen to you?
And on to decline bar. Workout was this:
135 x 10
225 x 5
245 x 5
275 x 5
295 x 5
315 x 5
And holy shit did we strain the ligaments in the top, inner chest, on the clavicles. The pecs seemed to be fine, on a regular flat bench, it didn't hurt until the last 2-3 inches at the top. It was just strange. Ever have this happen?
We've sworn off both preachers and decline, as much as I hate to. I was getting great results - sizewise - on the preachers, and its fun to throw 3 biscuits on each side and go to town on decline. So much for that. I've never had this happen before. Maybe its because I'm 30 now, and structurally my body can't take that much weight. I hope not. Oh, and obviously we're doing more than these two exercises, but I didn't feel like posting the whole routine. Let me know what you think.

that happens to me after doing preachers for awhile. i usually take 6 months off from them and try to keep it to dumbells and i'm usually good after that.

not inner, but outer and shoulders. don't know what to tell you. try taking it easy for 6 months or so and see if that helps.
Robb, I just workout whatever isnt sore, and try to superset things. Most of the time, my workout is a result of how crowded the gym is - the gyms here in FL are always slammed, except on sunday around 3.
squats
135 x 12
185 x 10 x 3
seated hamstrings
150 x 3 x 10
standing hamstrings
225 x 8 x 3 (smith)
quad ext.
235 x 3 x 8
abs
incline run 10 min
